Lara + Sean

We chose Austen to be our wedding videographer and we couldn't be happier with the results! Austen was quickly responsive to different questions we had, and he was able to easily bring our vision for our wedding video to life. Compared to other wedding videographers we considered, he didn't increase the price for every little thing we wanted, which I really appreciated. He was always very fair and super helpful, and it felt like he really cared about the video being good. I would highly recommend him!
